Biography
Mina Martis is a London-based actor working across film and television, with additional working bases in Athens and Aarhus. Her work is rooted in a background in opera and classical performance, including early experience in ancient drama and open-air theatre-environments that shaped her sense of scale, presence, and discipline. Her screen work is defined by measured energy and quiet authority. She is frequently cast as characters who operate within or against systems-investigators, intelligence officers, enforcers, and survivors-often carrying moral ambiguity, psychological tension, or controlled threat. Her performances favor restraint, allowing intensity to emerge through precision rather than display. Mina’s professional development spans independent film, workshops, and ongoing training, including work with Ivana Chubbuck and Manuel Puro, and continued study within the Acting Masters community led by Derek Barr. Alongside her acting craft, she has developed a strong physical skill set, with training in firearms handling and stage combat (unarmed, rapier and dagger, sword and shield), bringing credibility to action-driven roles. She performs in near-native English with strong command of General American and Contemporary RP, alongside Greek, German, and Italian, with additional familiarity across several European languages. Drawn to politically and socially driven narratives, Mina’s work sits naturally within political and spy thrillers, dystopian and post-apocalyptic worlds, crime drama, and speculative storytelling that interrogates power, inequality, and the erosion of systems.
